Wang Gang, Qiao Zuwang and the gatekeeper, Uncle Zhao, were sitting in the security room. None of the three said anything.
Uncle Zhao didn't say anything because he didn't expect that Qiao Zuwang was really Wang Gang's father, and he was a little worried that Wang Gang would cause trouble for him.
Wang Gang was in the sports team and he was at the height of his power. Even the top leaders were respectful to him.
There is no way, who can make someone achieve results? He is an old man who looks after the gate. It is natural to feel uneasy if he offends such a person.
Qiao Zuwang didn't say anything because he was sulking. He didn't expect that Wang Gang would arrange for him to come and see the gate.
He originally thought that if his father, an international champion, came to the sports team, he would not be a leader but would still sit in an office.
Unexpectedly, the job his son found for him was that of a janitor.
Wang Gang didn't speak, because he was thinking about how to ease the conflict between Uncle Zhao and Qiao Zuwang. After all, the two of them would have to work together in the future.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry, it was my father who was reckless and offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf." Wang Gang said politely to Uncle Zhao.
"I don't dare." Uncle Zhao quickly stood up and said, "It's my fault for my clumsy eyes and stupid mouth that led to such a misunderstanding."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "My father didn't know the nature of our unit, so he wanted to break in. It's all my fault that I didn't make it clear to him. Uncle Zhao, you are responsible. There is nothing wrong with it."
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he became even more angry and accused: "Qiao Erqiang, what on earth do you mean! Do you want to see my joke?"
With outsiders present, Wang Gang couldn't help but say: "Don't you want me to help you find a job? It happened that a concierge in our team just left, so I recommended you to the leader. From now on, you and Uncle Zhao will be colleagues, please help him find a job."
Apologize."
"I apologize to him!" Qiao Zuwang said disdainfully: "Isn't he just a stinky doorman? Why should I apologize to him!"
Uncle Zhao was slightly unhappy, but for Wang Gang's sake, he didn't get angry!
"There's no need to apologize. Since it's a misunderstanding, just clear it up." Uncle Zhao thought to himself, if he really works with Qiao Zuwang in the future, he doesn't know what trouble will happen.
"Uncle Zhao, my father has just arrived here. Please be more considerate and tell him the rules of the team later. You don't have to be polite to him. You can do whatever you want!"
Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "You really want me to be a guard! Is there any son who ignores his father like you?"
Wang Gang resisted the urge to take action and said: "Don't think that being the concierge in our team is easy. The sports team is a military unit, and many of the people in it are temporary.
Even if all the concierges are veterans, I worked hard to get your job, so don’t be ungrateful!"
"Hmph!" Qiao Zuwang stood up angrily, pointed at Wang Gang's nose and cursed: "You little brat, even if I go to beg for food, I won't be a janitor!"
After saying that, Qiao Zuwang rolled up his sleeves and left.
Uncle Zhao felt quite happy when he saw Qiao Zuwang leaving.
Qiao Zuwang returned to Shamao Lane angrily, and his neighbors were quite surprised to see him.
"Old Qiao, what kind of good job did your second son find for you? Why come back so early?"
Qiao Zuwang was ashamed and annoyed, and shouted at the other party: "None of your business!"
The neighbor was stunned. He was wondering whether Qiao Zuwang had taken gunpowder today. When he wanted to ask a few more questions, Qiao Zuwang had already run home with an angry look on his face.
Qiao Yicheng had no classes in the morning, so he came to clean up at home. He was very surprised to see Qiao Zuwang running back!
"Didn't you report to the second-strongest unit? Why did you come back so early and your work was not going well?" Qiao Yicheng asked.
Qiao Zuwang immediately became furious and roared: "Did you already know what Qiao Erqiang did!"
Qiao Yicheng asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you, Erqiang? Are you so angry?"
Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "Do you know what kind of job Qiao Erqiang introduced me to? He asked me to go to his unit to check the door!"
Qiao Yicheng paused for a moment after hearing this, and then returned to normal.
"Isn't it good to look at the door? It fully meets your job requirements?"
Qiao Zuwang was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Yicheng explained: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to find a job where you don't feel tired, have a lot of free time, and sit for a long time?"
"Then I don't want to see the gate!" Qiao Zuwang said excitedly.
Qiao Yicheng said cheerfully: "I think being a gatekeeper is very suitable for you. You can sit in the concierge all day and do some activities when you have time. I usually just read the newspaper and drink tea."
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he realized that it was really the case. The job of guarding the door was completely in line with his expectations for the job, but he wanted to be a leader, not a guard.
At this time, Wang Gang also ran back home. When Qiao Zuwang saw him, he turned his head and pretended to ignore him.
Wang Gang sat down and said to Qiao Yicheng: "Big brother is here too!"
"Well, I have no classes this morning, so I came back to do laundry." Qiao Yicheng glanced at Qiao Zuwang and asked, "Did you find a job as a janitor for our dad?"
"Yes!" Wang Gang nodded and said: "There are many laid-off workers outside now, and I got this job only through a lot of favors."
"Are there people snatching up any janitor job?" Qiao Yicheng asked following Wang Gang's words.
"That's right!" Wang Gang picked up the water bottle and poured himself a glass of water.
"What kind of unit is our team? There are so many people who want to join. There are more than a dozen people vying for the job of guard. If the leader didn't see my recent results, he wouldn't have given me this position!"
"What's there to rob from a poor janitor?" Qiao Zuwang said disdainfully.
When Wang Gang saw that Qiao Zuwang had taken the bait, he said, "Don't underestimate the job of the doorman. You must know that the doorman is the first post in our unit. Everyone entering and leaving must pass through it. When the leaders and their families come, they must say hello before they are allowed in."
Qiao Yicheng's eyes lit up and he said, "So, the leader should give the guard some face!"
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, his ears perked up, and his attention was indeed attracted.
"Of course, otherwise, why would the guard, Uncle Zhao, be so arrogant!"
Qiao Zuwang thought of Uncle Zhao's attitude, how he dared to shame his father, a world champion, and couldn't help but trust his son.
"And this guard! He is considered part of the team. He enjoys the same treatment as everyone else, including food and accommodation. He has a stable salary and will receive a large pension when he retires in the future." Wang Gang said with a corner of his mouth.
When it came to money, Qiao Zuwang couldn't sit still at all.
"How much is the salary per month?"
Qiao Yicheng secretly laughed in his heart, his brother had figured out the old man's Achilles' heel.
"The monthly salary of the doorman is about 100 yuan, and the night shift is 10 yuan a day, so you can basically get 200 yuan!"
Qiao Yicheng asked strangely: "How come the salary is so high?"
The average salary for an ordinary worker outside is about 70-130 yuan, depending on the efficiency of the factory.
The salary of a university teacher is only about 200 yuan.
Qiao Zuwang was moved, and finally turned around and asked Wang Gang: "You won't deceive me, will you? How can a doorman pay such a high salary?"
"Why should I lie to you?" Wang Gang said with a smile: "Our unit is affiliated with the military and is inherently special, so the salary and benefits are high. Correspondingly, the requirements for the janitors are also high.
In the past, door guards had to carry guns and stand guard, but that was later abolished!"
Qiao Zuwang asked: "What are the specific requirements?"
Wang Gang said: "Those who have just joined must undergo physical training with the team, and then they must be assessed every year. If they fail, they will be expelled."
"We still need to take an assessment? Is the assessment difficult?" Qiao Zuwang was a little discouraged upon hearing this.
"It's not difficult. Uncle Zhao is over sixty and passes the exam every year," Wang Gang said.
Qiao Zuwang felt relieved and asked again: "Is the job of a doorman difficult?"
Qiao Yicheng next to him saw Qiao Zuwang's look and knew that he was interested in work.
"It's not difficult at all. It's just that the management is stricter, and you have to schedule a night shift. You need to patrol at night, once every hour, to prevent people from outside from breaking in, or people from inside from escaping." Wang Gang added:
"But there is a daily subsidy of ten yuan for the night shift."
"Why does it look like a prison?" Qiao Zuwang frowned.
"We have a semi-military management, so I can't get out during the day. I only have one day off on weekends!" Wang Gang said:
"If you don't want to do this job, I will reply to the leader. Many relatives in the team are watching!"
"No!" Qiao Zuwang said anxiously: "I didn't say I wouldn't do it! You didn't make it clear to me before."
Wang Gang complained: "You have to give me a chance to say it!"
Qiao Zuwang thought to himself that he had indeed run a little fast just now.
Qiao Yicheng thought it would be good for Qiao Zuwang to work as a guard in the sports team. Normally, with Wang Gang watching, he would not go out to drink and play mahjong, and the family would be more peaceful.
"Dad, hurry up and return to the team with the top two, don't let others take your job away from you." Qiao Yicheng said urgently.
Qiao Zuwang patted his head and said, "Yes, let's go quickly!"
